Our House Senior Living - Austin Memory Care is a specialized memory care community located in a quiet neighborhood at 1401 15th Avenue Northwest, with another memory care unit labeled as Austin Memory Care 14th St, and it's set up for adults 55 and over who are dealing with memory loss, dementia, or Alzheimer's, so if someone needs help with remembering things or needs a little more support with daily tasks in a secure, home-like place, this spot could meet those needs. The building allows some pets like cats and dogs and has a protected back patio with raised planting beds, an enclosed courtyard, a front porch with a sitting area, and it's made to be comfortable for everyone with hand railings in the halls, big windows in the private bedrooms, and wheelchair accessible showers and tubs. People can choose between single or semi-private rooms, and there are private bedrooms with closets, private entryways from well-lit halls, and large bathrooms fitted with grip bars for extra safety, which makes it easier for folks who have trouble getting around. The rooms let residents control their own temperature and have TV, kitchenettes, and personal call systems for safety.
The community has a Fireside Living Room, a cozy television lounge and activity area, and a community dining room that opens out to a family-style kitchen and snack bar, so there's always a spot to sit with friends or family, talk, or just watch the fire and relax, and the outdoor spaces like the enclosed patio give residents a safe place to enjoy fresh air. Residents get three healthy meals a day, snacks, and staff can help with dressing, grooming, bathing, toileting, and medication, and they're around twenty-four hours a day if someone needs anything. Nurses, podiatrists, occupational therapists, and other specialists visit or work onsite, so medical needs, medication support, wound care, and physical therapy get handled, and if someone needs more temporary or short-term, respite care is available.
There are health and wellness activities, art and craft sessions, exercise in the fitness center, and "Our Life" resident programs that keep folks' minds active and give everyone a chance to join in. The memory care program is built for those with Alzheimer's or other memory concerns, with specialized staff on hand who are used to helping people with cognitive issues, and there are individualized service plans for each resident. Safety stands out - the building's set up so wandering doesn't become a problem, and it's got sprinkler systems, safety features throughout, and a strong focus on oversight and monitoring, so residents stay safe, eat properly, and get their medicine.
Onsite beauty and barber services, housekeeping, laundry, Wi-Fi, cable TV, devotional services, transportation for errands or appointments, and parking help make everyday life more comfortable. The building is smoke-free inside, pets are welcome in some parts, and residents are always encouraged to join assessments, tours, and give feedback about what works best for them. The community accepts both men and women in different units as needed and works hard to provide privacy, respect, dignity, and independence for everyone living there. The whole idea is to offer a steady, caring environment for seniors who need a little more help because of memory loss, and there's always a chance to stay for a short time if families or caregivers need a break. The service is part of the broader Our House Senior Living group, which has similar locations in several Wisconsin cities, so you know they have experience supporting seniors with different memory and care needs. Brochures, information, and tour scheduling are all available to help families decide if this is the right fit.
